Sat, 09 Jan 2016 16:10:17 +0000http://www.mind-mapping.org/blog/?p=3093The overview of browser-based apps on mind-mapping.org was made years ago. This was back in the days when this type of web app was first gaining traction. Then, the idea that we could just open a browser on a Windows PC or Mac, no matter which, and start mapping or making a diagram was new and exciting. Now, this is routine, and many of those listed have since died but many<br /><span class="excerpt_more"><a href="http://www.mind-mapping.org/blog/2016/01/web-apps-for-making-mind-maps-and-diagrams/">[continue reading...]</a></span><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mind-mapping/uhLZ/~4/zQf2mwxJz90" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://www.mind-mapping.org/blog/2016/01/web-apps-for-making-mind-maps-and-diagrams/The riddle of mobile mappinghttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mind-mapping/uhLZ/~3/5G59EH-mtAI/

I&#8217;ve just finished a sweeping look at the Apple iTunes App Store and Google Play, searching for mind mapping apps &#8230; this with the aim of making a total re-write of the article in the Mindmapwiki about &#8216;Mind mapping on the Run&#8217;. I found 62 such apps &#8230; sixty two! But before I get to the numbers, let&#8217;s look at what&#8217;s behind mobile mapping tools.

I grabbed part of a contents list from a handy PDF file, pasted it into a Google Doc, added bullets and indented it.

As well as helping you make process diagrams, most offer simulation or analysis of processes, and some can make flowcharts and organization charts as well. They range in price from free (a very capable simulation tool supported by the National Science Foundation and Google) to nearly US$2,000.
